At the moment, I am only on Chapter 3 of Rose of No Man's Land by Michelle Tea, but it's so far great! After having read only one other Michelle Tea book, Valencia, about a gender-bending lesbian moving to San Francisco in the early 1990s, I really wanted to check out more. Rose of No Man's Land is the story of Trish who is from small-town New England growing up in a working-class family. Her mom sits on the couch in her nightgowns, mom's boyfriend eats ham salad directly out of the jar, and her older know-it-all sister Kristy is determined to be on the Real World. The book reads like an episode of My So Called Life, only the Chases are poor, Patti care doesn't care at all about Angela, and Graham is no where to be found. I haven't met Rose yet, but the anticipation is killing me. I have a feeling it has something to do with the store Ohmigod! in the Square One Mall.
